Maybe Jimmy Bone is making a come back [emoji240]

I'm think at home to Dumbarton

With all the derbies we should be expecting an increase gate at home. You always pray for the Old Firm in the cup too. We have just missed Rangers twice in recent years. £80k games those. Sent from my SM-G900F using Pie and Bovril mobile app

£20k at this league level for a signing can be found. In a season you can draw in 60 fans more at 22 home games @ say £17 (is that the price now) and you get c £20k. Sent from my SM-G900F using Pie and Bovril mobile app

I'd rather not go anywhere near pinning us the championship. Too much pressure to even talk about that. Hitting playoffs yes, and if you power on with that yes you can take the title. So many derbies I suspect will be detrimental to all the Angus sides.

Sounds bonkers but when you think about it he will get a lie in on a few Saturdays with 4 Angus clubs to play, in Angus, in first part of season

Dylan Easton comes home. Canna wait. We have a chance of a winning pairing with him and Wallace. In the Olympic syncronised diving.

Believe they play Futsal together

Must say I didn't hear this? Can you enlighten?

Sadly Roma v Liverpool on the telly will have an impact on the crowd. Can't see The Sons bringing many.

Isn't this all just about squad rotation? You don't get a game it rests you, makes you hungry, keeps you wanting. There has been lots of comments about us having a good overall squad and with that some players/fans will be dissatisfied when 'x' doesn't get a game. The two go together.

I mind that. It was a lad from Dundee who got stabbed I think.

Tried Googling it but can't find match details or score

Think the match was something like a 3rd replay so went to being at Muirton as a neutral ground

Anyone remember an Arbroath v Stennny cup replay, mid week, at Murton Perth? When was that. Mid 80s? I remember going on the bus as a kid. So cold I recall an older lad pouring Bovril into his Adidas to warm his feet up. Funny enough he was bevvied up!

Radio Forth talking of travel chaos in central belt Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday with 6inch of snow being talked about! #beastfaetheeast isn't just fae Carnosutie it seems

If this is true, perhaps it could be crowd funded?

Goals per mins played Kane wins

Oh. Any notion if you can get into the edinburgh match?

At the AGM (May 2016) it was answered to a direct question re Simon Murray that the club would get £30k (not the 50k banded about) plus add ons. Clarification was sought then on what these were and one was raised as ‘ first may be reached if he plays 45 games for Utd’. Also there is a sell on clause and insinuation was that the club saw SMs departure as an income stream for some time to come. That has now been stopped, by SM moving to Hibs on a free. So what were the ‘add ons’? Is the club still going to get any of these. What were they? £8k for instance would pay for Swankie. Is the 50k that gets banded about based on 30k plus 20k of potential add ons? If so, how many of them have come to fruition? This is perhaps were lessons can be learned in terms of what you take upfront in a transfer and what you gamble on in terms of the guy leaves on a free. Seems we banked 30k and gambled on 20k.

Firstly I will ask. Where you at the AGM 18 months ago?

At the agm after Murray went the club made a big thing about income coming out and about how contractual ties had ensured a revunue income in the future. This then was clearly not the case. There are options with contracts. Fully aware Arbroath do not own Simon but contracts can be worded differently.

It is possible to put anything in contracts. If we did have a sell in clause was it just binding for one move beyond Utd or was it written to track a career.

A missed chance if that us the case. Just because that was a free though it isn't necessarily 100% the case. Depends how contract was written. A lesson learned perhaps.

Does anyone know if we still have any financial interest re Simon Murray. I'm aware he was a free from Utd to Hibs but contractually did we wrap it up for a % of all future moves? I really do hope so.
